Two men have been rushed to hospital after suffering burns following a suspected acid attack in East London, according to reports.Police were called to an incident on Cricketfield Road near Hackney Downs in the early evening after receiving reports of a corrosive substance being thrown on tow men.A car chase took place just before the attack, with one colliding into a wall, according to witnesses.Witnesses then saw a corrosive substance being thrown over two men.

Bystanders scrambled to douse the victims with buckets of water to wash the acid of their bodies.

Is that the correct response?

Buying large online batteries (used in C210), comes "dry" with quarts of sulfuric acid. Use Muriatic to clean bricks. Instructions are clear with dilution, as to whether to add acid to water or water to acid.

What, exactly, has to happen, before this is promoted from being an “alleged acid attack” to becoming an actual acid attack? I know about the presumption of innocence being used to describe “alleged murderers”, etc., but in that case there isn’t an alleged victim, there is an actual victim. There are actual people here who really did suffer acid burns, right? So they were actually attacked with acid, yes?

The punishment for splashing acid on someone, whether their face or elsewhere on the their body, should be having acid poured in the perp’s eyes and over they face. Then be exiled to some craphole country like Iran.

Two men have been rushed to hospital after suffering burns following a suspected acid attack in East London, according to reports. Police were called to an incident on Cricketfield Road near Hackney Downs in the early evening after receiving reports of a corrosive substance being thrown on tow men.

According to Acid Survivors Trust International (ASTI), the UK has one of the highest rates of acid attacks per capita in the world. The victim ran into a nearby shop yelling ‘someone has poured acid on my face,’ staff rushed to his aid and doused his face with water, and a customer called an ambulance. A police spokesperson said: “The man was taken to an east London hospital for treatment; his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.” According to Acid Survivors Trust International (ASTI), the UK has one of the highest rates of acid attacks per capita in the world. London has become a hotbed for violent crime in recent years as Mayor Sadiq Khan faces mounting pressure to curb the violence in the capital. Last week, Neon Nettle reported London had suffered its fifth killing in just six days. Sadiq Khan, who has been criticized for spending more time virtue signaling and attacking President Donald Trump than dealing with the capital’s knife crime epidemic, has been criticized for failing to keep the city safe.
